Packers Beat 49ers on a Last-Second Field Goal

Mason Crosby kicked a 27-yard field goal as time expired to cap an 81-yard drive set up by Kevin King’s interception with 1 minute 7 seconds left, and the Green Bay Packers outlasted the San Francisco 49ers for a 33-30 win on Monday night at Lambeau Field.

The drive was extended after 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman was called for an illegal contact penalty on third-and-15 that wiped out a sack of Aaron Rodgers with 43 seconds left.

Rodgers later rushed up the middle for a 21-yard gain. A two-time most valuable player, Rodgers then completed two more passes for 19 yards to set up Crosby’s game-winner for Green Bay (3-2-1). The veteran kicker was perfect a week after missing four field goals in a loss at Detroit.

Rodgers threw for 425 yards and two scores. C.J. Beathard passed for 245 yards and two touchdowns for the 49ers (1-5).

BILLS’ ALLEN OUT INDEFINITELY Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills’ rookie quarterback, is out indefinitely after hurting his throwing arm. His absence leaves his team in a quandary.

Without providing many details, Coach Sean McDermott listed Allen as being “week to week” on Monday, a day after Allen hurt his elbow in the third quarter of a 20-13 loss at Houston. McDermott said he would know more about the nature of Allen’s injury after meeting with team doctors.

The injury to Allen, the Bills’ first-round draft pick, leaves McDermott having to decide between having the turnover-prone backup Nathan Peterman or the newly signed 12-year veteran Derek Anderson start in Buffalo’s game at Indianapolis on Sunday. McDermott wouldn’t provide a hint as to who would start in Allen’s place.

Peterman threw two interceptions against the Texans, with his first returned for the deciding touchdown with 1 minute 23 seconds left in the game. Including a brief playoff appearance, Peterman, a second-year player, has been intercepted on 10 of his 82 career attempts. He is best remembered for throwing five interceptions in the first half of a 54-24 loss at the Los Angeles Chargers last season.

Anderson, 35, was signed only a week ago after spending the off-season away from football. He attempted only eight passes in three appearances with Carolina last season, and hasn’t started a game in nearly two years.

The move came a day after the team’s third straight loss following a 2-0 start and two weeks after Coach Dirk Koetter said he had no intentions of dismissing Smith because the Bucs’ defensive woes were not the fault of any one person.

JETS ASSISTANT TO RETURN Kacy Rodgers, the Jets’ defensive coordinator, will return to work this week after missing the past two games while dealing with an illness.

Coach Todd Bowles said that Rodgers would coach Sunday in the Jets’ game against Minnesota. Bowles has run the defense the past two weeks, victories over Denver and Indianapolis.

Rodgers, 49, has been dealing with an unspecified illness that Bowles has characterized as “serious.”

BEER-THROWING FAN IS CHARGED The police in Foxborough, Mass., charged a Gillette Stadium fan who threw beer onto Kansas City Chiefs wideout Tyreek Hill on Sunday with disorderly conduct and throwing an object at a sporting event.

The New England Patriots announced earlier Monday that they had identified the fan, barred him from their stadium and turned the matter over to law enforcement.
